History - A Question of Palestine said:Among the issues that the Mandatory Power had to deal with, particularly after the end of the Second World War, was the question of a proposed Jewish home in Palestine. Increasing Jewish immigration had been consistently opposed by the Arab inhabitants of Palestine, who in the mid-1940s comprised about two thirds of the territoryÂ’s population of 2 million.
EPILOG: This revised edition of “The Question of Palestine and the United Nations” reflects a number of milestones and events through the end of 2007. Foremost among these was the passage of 60 years since the adoption by the General Assembly in 1947 of resolution 181 (II), providing for the establishment of an Arab State and a Jewish State in the former Mandate territory of Palestine, with a special status for the holy city of Jerusalem.
(COMMENT)So, the Zionists recruited the assistance of colonial powers to invade and take over Palestine.Oh I wouldn't say that!
(COMMENT)
The "Zionists" did not invade the land. It was earmarked as the Jewish National Home by the Allied Powers, in which immigration was a natural first step.
Well then, that makes it OK.
The "Zionist" did not recruit the assistance of any "Colonial Powers." The "Allied Powers" made the determination that it was in the best interest to the protection of the Jewish Culture.
"The Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish agency referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes." (Article 4, San Remo Convention).
It wasn't an invasion, but an agreement decided on 24 April 1920 by the Principal Allied Powers in "giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations." Does that make it "OK?" Yes sir-ree (three bags full)!
As previously stated, some years later, the UN adopted General Assembly in 1947 of Resolution 181 (II), which gave the Jewish State form and substance. The Arab Higher Committee declined to participate.
Thus, following the "Steps Preparatory to Independence" adopted by the UN General Assembly, Israel reached the point to Declare such Independence.
It was the foreign intervention and influence of the Arab League that created the subsequence belligerent behaviors that lead us to the current ground truth.

You are a hoot, Rocco.
What ever happened to the right to self determination without external interference?
The only thing you post is what foreigners did.
